Expert Answers about Forest River Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel


  • Recommended Portable Tire Inflator That Can Inflate Trailer Tires to 110 psi
  • You are right that a huge compressor can really be a pain and we have exactly what you need with a portable system, the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor # BDW41003 which only measures about 10-1/2" long x 5-1/2" wide x 7-1/2" tall and weighs under 10 lbs. This is a 150 psi compressor that has a carrying case to make it simple to transport and has clamps for power from a 12 volt battery like you were wanting. I have added a link to a video review of this tire inflator for you to...

  • Screen Door Push Bar Handle for 32" Doors
  • Most of the available screen door cross bars only expand to 28-5/8", however the Camco # CAM43971 is the only one that will expand to 32 inches. This should be a great solution for you.

  • Recommended TrailAir FlexAir Pin Box Replacement for 2018 Forest River Silverback
  • For your 2018 Forest River Silverback, the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC369535 is the correct fit. It will work with the capacity of your trailer as well as will bolt right up to your 1621HD pin box. The only real difference between the 1621 and 1621HD is the HD uses thicker material but has the same dimensions.

  • Can Both Hydraulic and Electric Landing Gear Legs Be Installed on a Trailer
  • On most trailers there is not going to be space for two sets of landing gear legs on each side of the trailer so I would have to say no unless a professional fabricator made extensive modifications to the trailer. The issue you described with your hydraulic landing gear set is the reason they are becoming less and less popular. The Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System part # LC675817 is a far better system in my opinion and you should be able to switch over from...

  • Could Handle and Nozzle of RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Sprayer # 277-000098 Be Installed on Either Side
  • You can install the RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Sprayer # 277-000098 in the orientation you described with the handle on the right side and the sprayer on the left. There's no reason you couldn't do that. As long as the water is connected to the handle and the nozzle correctly it can install in either orientation.

  • Suspension Upgrades for a 2011 Forest River Cedar Creek 36RE
  • Yes! There are a few options and which set fits will depend on the measurements of your existing equalizers. If the eye center to eye center on your equalizers is 5-1/4 to 6-1/4 inches with a height from the top center hole to the eye center holes of around 2 inches then you can use # K71-652-00. If your equalizer length measurement is 7-1/4 to 8-1/4 inches then you can use # K71-653-00. If your equalizers are 7-1/2 inches long with a height of around 5 inches you can use # LC279688.

  • How to Prevent the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C13701 From Scraping
  • There is a possibility that going over a bump could then cause the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 to drag the pavement. In order to prevent damage to the trailer hitch I recommend installing skid wheels like part # UF48-979014. I have attached a photo of these skid wheel installed to give you a better idea of how they will work. You would not experience any damage to the trailer's frame and trailer hitch once the wheels are installed. Unfortunately, this is the only...

  • Can You Order Multiple Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Locks With the Same Key
  • The Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock part # C48CR does not come with a keyed alike option so you'd only be able to receive multiple with the same key by chance. That said, we have plenty of other multi fit trailer coupler locks with keyed alike options such as the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # FA86-0015-316 which is what I recommend. It can be ordered keyed alike.

  • Does Adco SFS AquaShed 290-52256 Fit Only Toy Hauler RVs
  • The Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover for 5th Wheel Toy Hauler # 290-52256 fits toy haulers and fifth wheel campers. The only feature this would have that you may not need is an access panel for the rear like where the toy haulers carry the "toys". Aside from that it's exact same.

  • Kit for Converting 2018 Cedar Creek 34RL2 to Disc Brakes
  • Since we know your 2018 Cedar Creek 34RL2 has 7k trailer axles the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1 for sure does fit and would work great. The HydraStar actuators are by far the best option too so this would be a really great and easy all-in-one solution.

  • How To Improve the Handling of a 2010 Forest River Cedar Creek 5th Wheel While In Tow
  • The best system we can offer you to increase the handling of your 5th wheel while in tow would be with an upgraded pin box as that is the link between the trailer and tow vehicle after all. For this, we have the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box. The Flex Air is one of the most worth while upgrades you can preform because the integrated air bag and shock absorber when combined with the pivoting head will dramatically reduce chucking/jarring therefore decreasing the chance of the items...

  • RV Approved Platform Bike Rack Recommendation
  • Since the rear of an RV has a much rougher ride quality than a passenger vehicle you have to go with a bike rack that is rated for the rougher ride quality present there. For that the closest option we have to the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G that you referenced is the Swagman Dispatch # S44FR. It's a reinforced platform bike rack. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

  • Help Allowing SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs To Fit a 2007 Cedar Creek 5TH Wheel Camper
  • You are correct the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # SS26MV are the correct choice for your 2007 Forest River Cedar Creek 5th wheel having overslung 6,000lb axles. Do be sure to order a kit for each axle. For the spring plate it may be best to get all new plates and U-bolts # CE23003 for each axle. This hardware is coated to help prevent corrosion unlike the factory parts which are usually painted steel. If your hardware is still in good shape you will most likely want to just grind...

  • Recommended High Capacity Wheels for 235/85-16 Trailer Tires
  • I have some great 16" wheel options for a trailer. In regards to wheel capacity, 4,460 lbs will be the max we can offer for 8-bolt, the Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel part # TTW660865WS4 is what I recommend.

  • Replacement Landing Gear that Could Fit Motor of 2004 Forest River Cedar Creek
  • If the landing gear set you have on your Forest River is a Bulldog setup the motor of it would fit on the Bulldog # BD500162 but if instead you have the more standard brands of Venture, Stromberg, LCI, or Lippert you'd want the # LC333966.

  • Solution for Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch that Progressively Allows More Chucking
  • The thump you are experiencing is known as "chucking" and it's caused basically by the excess movement that a hitch head allows between it and the king pin. Curt fifth wheel hitches are somewhat known for this and we've seen and heard of them getting worse with time. The best solution is a new hitch with tighter king pin to hitch head clearance like the Reese Select Plus part # RP30081 which uses a single hook design that holds the pin very tightly and will get rid of the chucking you are...

  • What Causes Light Activation Delay on RV
  • Typically light activation delay is due to a bad switch or a loose connection in the wiring of the light circuit. It's not usually related to the wrong bulb being used. I'd first check the condition of the switch looking for any corrosion and then check the wiring.

  • Cedar Creek Hathaway 5th Wheel Suspension Enhancement Recommendation
  • The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Medium-Duty Trailers # TTRA1032 that you referenced will give your trailer's suspension a noticeable amount of additional support. It will help level your trailer side to side as the additional support will reduce the sag on that side of the trailer. I'd recommend making sure that you have the correct rated leaf springs on your trailer and that they aren't worn out either.
